Western Democracies
Won't Pay
Price of $10 Billion
Each Side Seeking to
For Conference Failure on the Other
By LUDWELL DENNY Soripps-Howard Staff Writer MOSCOW, March 28.—The American and British delegations continue to press for unification of Germany, but their hopes are waning. They are unwilling and unable to pay the Russian price for agreement,
which is virtual Soviet control.
The anticipated Molotov compromise move has not been made.
So far there are no signs of it, Foreseeing the possibility that the existing East-West division of Germany will not be overcome at this conference, each side is preparing to hang the responsibiltiy on the other. Each side charges the other with sabotaging the Potsdam unification
months ago, and with currently trying to perpetuate that division. The British and Americans are able to point to the Soviet record of non-fulfillment of the Potsdam agreement. Since their own record |

nation. According to this Soviet line, peddled in the Moscow press, there's an unholy alliance of Wall Street, the British steel trust, French-Belgian-Luxembourg heavy. industry, and the Vatican. They say the alliance wants to set up a reactionary state

Exact Opposite
As so” often is the case with Red propaganda, the charge that the - Americans and British hére are
trying to dismember Germany is,
the exact opposite of the truth. They are striving genuinely to reunite the Germany which Russia has dismembered. ; It's precisely because Molotov is so certain of this that he is trying to exact such a high price—namely $10 billion in reparations mostly from current production, in Germany, and Soviet control of the Ruhr through veto power. Skeptical Americans and Britons at home who think their governments are to blame for this EastWest serverance—or at least share the blame with Russia—can verify the sincerity of British-American policy for a unified Germany by noting the following factors of selfinterest: Economle—Division of the Reich has forced American and British taxpayers to subsidize the western gones, deprived of food and trade from the Russian zone. This situation grows. worse because the western zones must support an additional eight million or

more German refugees from the Russian zone and farther east. Obviously it is to British-American self-interest to make Germany self-supporting. And it is equally obvious that this can be achieved more quickly and easily by handling the ‘closely inter-related parts of Germany as a whole. Political — All sides agree that German dismemberment would multiply the forces for making war. It would increase East-West conflict, by inviting German nationalists to play Russia against the Americans and British and vice versa. | Democratization of Germany under such conditions would be virtually impossible. Therefore, as long as the American and British
mocracy for Germany they must, and doubtless will, strive for unification. Military—Though this’ important aspect is never discussed openly, the greater the danger of war the | greater British-American interest lies in keeping the Russian line as far to the East as possible—if there | must be a split it should be east of the Elbe and Oder rivers.
U. S. to Demand Voice in Silesia
By R. H. SHACKFORD United Press Staff Correspondent MOSCOW, March 28—The United States is prepared to countera Russian demand for a voice in the control of the Ruhr. The. Americans will make a counter-demand for some kind of internationalization of industrial Silesia, now under Polish administration, authoritative sources reported today. Details of the plan were thcomplete, but were expected to:be in order when the Ruhr issue comes up in the Big Four council, probably early next week. The plan would aim at killing two birds with one stone—opening an offensive against Soviet insistence on a share in controlling the Ruhr, and indirectly raising opposition to- making the Oder-Neisse line the .permanent boundary between Germany and Poland. Compromise Rejected Before today's council session it was learned that Secretary of State George Marshall would reject a Soviet compromise proposal for definition of German assets in Austria. Secretary: Marshall regards as unsatisfactory the compromise suggested by Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov for defining the German assets, an issue which brought to a standstill the work on the Austrian treaty. Mr. Molotov’s proposal to the Big Four council yesterday on the drafting of the definition would exclude from it only the property seized by the Nazis “by direct force or as a measure of Aryanization.” Secretary Marshall will reject the Soviet proposal on the grounds that .|the suggested definition would be too restricted, lacks a plan for arbitration machinery, and does not accept the principal that all repara|tions removals are subject to Aus{trian law. Britain Offered Soviet Aid Outside the council activity, Preimier Joseph Stalin was revealed to
the British when he received foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin at the Kremlin,
Marshal Stalin thus was able to put Mr. Bevin on the defensive immed|ately, and in the embarrassing position of having to accept or reject an offer of a Soviet helping hand.
State George Marshall still was eralissimo Stalin .at the end of
the third week on the Moscow conference."
